AUDITIONS: Cry of the Banshee

Here’s a spine-tingler adapted from the classic Poe film story that starred Vincent Price and Elizabeth Bergner. In 16th century Ireland, a cruel Lord Edward Whitman seeks to destroy the ’banshee cult’ of a powerful witch, but she puts a curse on his family. Generations later, Whitman Manor has been moved stone by stone to America and the last of the family, a young brother and sister, seek to escape the curse. But stalking the house, even in modern times, is an ancient spirit or sidhe, a thing that can never die, which has taken on human form. Its name is Roderick, and he has no idea that he isn’t a man of flesh and blood. Also, he’s in love with the sister, whom he plans to marry! Things go awry on the anniversary of the curse when Oona’s descendant, a dealer in witchcraft, arrives at the house and commands the sidhe to begin its evil.

Auditions will consist of multiple cold reads from the script. You will be reading for multiple characters. However, you will have the opportunity to read for any preferred roles during the audition process.

This show will open October 31-November 1 at The Pix Theatre in Lapeer.
